What is an Escape Room?

An Escape Room is a form of entertainment like no other. You and a group of friends/colleages/family members or even just you and a date are ‘locked’ in a themed room and must use your wits, teamwork, and communication skills, to complete objectives and solve puzzles to escape within the hour.

What happens if we fail?

We’ll let you out, if that’s what you’re asking. We put a heavy emphasis on narrative at Deadlocked, so you’ll probably just experience a different ‘ending’, and come out with a complete experience and an explanation on how you could have succeeded.

Is it possible to play a room more than once?

We think that the fun of an escape room is in discovering the secrets for the first time, so we plan to change our rooms regularly to allow you to experience new ones if you want to come back. We can also recommend other local rooms that we have had great times in too. That said, if you want to bring a first date to a room you’ve tried before, in order to appear super-intelligent, we’ll keep your secret!

Who can be in my team?

The experience is designed to challenge a team of people, so we recommend teams of 2-6 people and a minimum age of 8 (though anyone under 16 should be accompanied by an adult).

What if I have a group of people larger than your recommended numbers?

We have special options for corporate or large groups, and can accommodate many more people if you’d like a special event. More information on our options can be found on our Corporate page, or, failing that, get in touch through our ‘contact us’ page, and we’ll create a package tailored to your needs.

What do I need to know before entering the room?

Our rooms are designed to require no previous knowledge. You won’t have any disadvantage for not knowing that John Mcdonell is the current Shadow Chancellor or that Blackburn won the Premiere League in 1995.

Is it scary?

All of our rooms are designed to be atmospheric, but currently we do not have any ‘horror’ rooms.

What if there’s a fire? How do we get out?

Our rooms are designed so that in the event of a fire, you will be able to simply walk out of the room.

What happens if we have to cancel our booking?

We know that unavoidable situations occur sometimes that make you unable to attend. We ask that you give us at least 24 hours notice to change your booking.

What are the ‘rules’ for your rooms?

We don’t allow food or drink in our rooms, for obvious reasons. We ask that you don’t take photos or videos within the room, since we don’t want our puzzles spoiled for future participants (and they might then beat you on our leaderboards), and you won’t ever need to use your phone/the internet for game related purposes. We do take a photo of each team afterwards for you to boast with.
